JAMES
"She's with Joshua." sabi ni Ethan na kaka-upo lang din. Buti naman naisipan ng magaling kong kapatid na puntahan ang girlfriend nya?
"Dito ka muna dude! May kukunin lang ako." paalam ko at tumakbo na papuntang parking lot. Nakalimutan ko nga pala yung regalo sa kotse ko.
Agad kong binuksan yung kotse ko at kinuha yung isang maliit na box dun. Sana magustuhan ni Steff.
"J-James ..." Napa-pikit ako nang marinig ang boses niya. Hindi ba sya nagsasawa? Nilagpasan ko sya at akmang babalik na sa hall nang hilahin nya ang kamay ko.
"James please... Let's talk." irita akong humarap sa kanya then crossed my arms.
"Say everything you wanted to say then get lost! You're wasting my time." malamig kong sabi sa kanya. Nakaka-irita na talagang lagi nalang syang
CRISTEPHARIE"Waaaaah !!! What are you doing here?" Sigaw nya habang nanlalaki ang mata."Should I just get out?""Obviously?""And should I tell them that Mr. Campus heartthrob loves Elsa?"Bigla nya nalang akong hinila at tinakpan ang bibig ko."S-Sorry okay? Just please ... Keep this a secret." naka-tungo nyang sabi na kina-hagalpak ko ng tawa."Fine lumabas ka dun! Ipagsigawan mo! Ipost mo pa sa social media!" sigaw nya bago padabog na nag-walk out. Uh Oh! Am I in trouble? Well of course you're in trouble Cristepharie!"Hey! San ka pupunta? Nagjo-joke lang ako! Uy!" Sigaw ko at hinabol sya pero tuloy tuloy lang sya sa pag-lalakad."Uy! Unggoy sorry na!"Deadma!"Babe !!!"1..2..3..
JOSHUAIt's been three weeks since she said yes. Another one week and it's our first month.So far, we haven't received any death threats or anything related to those freaks for the past months. Which is odd, nakaka-panibago. I don't know if I should be happy that we've been safe for the past days or I should be worried 'cause it might be a sign that they're planning for something more dangerous.This past few days, bihira naming makita si Lyca at Terrence. With that fact, peace never visited my mind since I kept on thinking about all of the possibilities regarding on what their plan might be.But the main thing is, we do have a hunch that Terrence and Lyca are AS&JL. Yet, upon investigating, some clues have been pointing out that they're not AS&JL. I don't know what to believe anymore, honestly!
JOSHUA With my heart raging palpitations, I immediately hopped in my car and went to hit the road as fast as I can. The moment my car stopped by the nearest starbucks, Spike's car parked just infront of mine was the first thing that caught my attention. I hopped out of my car as I approached his. After three knocks, Spike rolled his window down as my eyes spotted the main reason why I'm here. Steff was sitting by the passenger's seat, unconscious. ''Flame...'' he called almost whispering. I went in the car just beside Steff as I made her lay on my chest before looking at Spike."Anong problema?" Seryoso kong tanong sa kanya."Gusto sana kitang balaan. Nalaman na ng
CRISTEPHARIE Panicked, traumatized and scared. Halo-halong emosyon ang naramdaman ko habang nasa byahe kami. Ni hindi ako makapag-salita. Ang dami kong gustong itanong, sabihin pero tila walang salitang gustong lumabas sa bibig ko. Natauhan nalang ako na nasa tapat na kami ng isang condo building. Joshua looks frustrated, not to mention... Scary. Ang bigat ng aura niya habang nanlilisik ang mga mata niya. Tahimik siyang lumabas ng sasakyan habang nakasunod lang ako. Mukhang wala din siyang balak basagin ang katahimikan. Pagka-akyat namin, dumarecho siya sa iyang unit at darechong binuksan yon. Sa loob, naka-t
JAMESSobra-sobrang stressful ng araw na ito. Balak lang naman naming magtipon-tipon para humanap ng clue tungkol sa AS&JL pero ang ending, ito kami at pare-parehong lugmok sa stress. Wala pading malay si Joshua, nawawala si Cindy. Naalala ko yung sinabi niya, this will be a goodbye. But I don't think that is normal. Hindi naman gagawa ng ganoong eksena yung kapatid niya kung iuuwi siya diba? Come to think of it, Emergency alarms ringing all over the place, yung dextrose niya parang basta lang hinatak tapos may dugo doon sa kama niya na halatang galing sa sugat niya. Cindy's brother wouldn't let her leave in that kind of situation. Isang buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ko habang patuloy akong nakatulala sa screen ng laptop
TRIPPI'm still not okay. Definitely not! I never thought Joshua was doing shits behind our back. Not to mention, he really did punched on my stomach and went to shot someone. What was he so afraid about that he needed to do all that? "Everything was planned." was the first thing Nash said after him and James came back. This two just ran away out of nowhere and now they came back messing with our mind like this? Kasalukuyan kaming nasa condo ko. This is a highly secured place kaya safe kami dito. Matapos nilang lumayas, bigla nalang silang babalik para utusan akong tipunin ang lahat dito. Putangina! Mukha ba akong utusan? Pasalamat kayo kaibigan ko kayo. Tch.
CRISTEPHARIEThe next day, I went to school like usual. But this time, not as the Steff they all had noticed but the old Steff who has been living in peace. I'm wearing a casual white shirt with a fitted ripped jeans. I have no make-up on, I only had my hair tied in a messy bun. Aside from that, I had my glasses on instead of the lenses. Also instead of the heeled footwear or doll shoes that I've been wearing, I went to slip on a converse shoes that I used to wear almost everyday before."Baby girl, okay ka lang?" Tanong ni Kuya Cristopher nang makita ako. "Yeah, do I look like I'm not?" I answered as I
JOSHUA "Man, you good?" I snapped back to reality when Kirvie tapped my shoulder.I haven't seen Steff for a while, she's not answering my calls or even my text messages. Of course I never dared to visit their home. First I wouldn't risk their safety and second, ako mismo sa sarili ko, hindi pa sigurado kung kaya ko na bang humarap sa kanila, sa kanya.We're currently on our usual tambayan. The other guys filed a leave with their stay here at school. Nasa empire silang lahat at naghahanap ng additional clues.Steff was an orphan. Ibig sabihin, hindi siya totoong kapatid nila Cristoff at Cristopher. The question is, do they know? Kailangan naming malaman ang totoong pagkatao ni Steff para sa ganoon alam namin kung ano ang tamang aksiyon na kailangan naming gawin. We might be under a very complicated situation right now, she must have hated me but I'm doing
